Once upon a time, in the face of the skyrocketing increase in upstream raw materials, powerless textile mills always joked to themselves: Let’s increase, let’s increase, it will only rise to 10,000 yuan per ton, so that no one can afford it! Unexpectedly, this sentence turned out to be true!
The Year of the Ox has begun, the chemical industry has started a post-holiday growth pattern, and the textile and chemical fiber industry chain It’s all red! Some people say, don’t worry, I want to wait. As a result, we didn’t wait for the price to drop, but we did wait for the price to have doubled several times!
In today’s polyester market, the price will rise by two hundred if you hesitate! So, what is the reason for the price increase? According to the editor’s analysis, the main reasons are low product inventories of textile companies, sufficient liquidity, and rising inflation caused by the surge in crude oil and chemicals, etc., which are the driving force for frequent rises in raw material prices in the short term.
In the early stage of the price increase, the downstream companies concentrated on purchasing with the mentality of “buying up, not buying down”. The production and sales of polyester filament heated up, but under the huge increase, the purchasing of weaving factories gradually showed some Worry and resistance (polyester filament prices have increased too much, there are risks in purchasing, raw materials have risen too fast, gray cloth pricing is difficult to receive orders, etc.) have led to a decline in the production and sales of polyester factories. At the beginning of March, with the decline in crude oil and polyester raw materials In the stagflation period, polyester filament yarn still has an increase, but production and sales have dropped below 50%.
After a large-scale rally in the early stage, facing today’s high prices, many downstream manufacturers are in a wait-and-see mode due to the high risk of stocking up, or even dare not stock up! Inventory pressure has been transferred directly from upstream polyester plants to traders.
Textile traders are almost driven crazy by the price increase
This year’s mission is to “stay alive” “!
What is the situation of the downstream textile factories? Before we have fully recovered from the “surge” around the Spring Festival, a new round of rising printing and dyeing fees has hit again, leaving many trading companies at a loss.
Starting from March 1st, printing and dyeing factories from some domestic printing and dyeing clusters such as Shishi in Fujian, Wujiang in Suzhou, Jiaxing and Shaoxing in Zhejiang have begun to increase dyeing fees, which will undoubtedly once again affect fabrics and dyeing. Costs for apparel producers and traders are compounded.
The person in charge of a Dongguan factory said: “Before the New Year, I received the pre-order. I was very happy. It can be opened at the beginning of the new year! After the New Year , watching the raw materials go up, not to mention making money, we are just selling at a loss… I feel like crying without tears.”
In this regard, some industrial and trade bosses said: “The orders executed after the start of construction were basically received a year ago, and the prices have been negotiated. We can only absorb the increase in raw materials ourselves.”
On the one hand, You don’t want to offend your customers and want to survive the price increase on your own, but you always see the tide rising but not the tide? On the other hand, how easy is it to convince end users to pass on the cost of raw materials and work together to overcome the difficulties?
The textile factory owners who are about to be driven crazy by the wave of price increases can only sincerely sigh: making money is not an extravagant thing, this year’s task is ” Live”! </p
